Matrix

The matrix is a summary of tools and skills that participants of the Metrowest Inter-Coalition group self-identified. We created the matrix to facilitate communication between communities.

The matrix may be useful for:

  • People who want to speak to someone who has experience doing a particular activity
  • People who face challenges in a particular activity area
  • People who are interested in connecting with other coalitions

Please let us know if the matrix was useful for you, and if not, how we could improve it.
